    What we asked:

    Q: Which of the Infinity Engine games has the best musical score in your opinion?
    (360 votes total)

    Icewind Dale (140) 39%
    Baldur's Gate 2 (115) 32%
    Planescape: Torment (88) 24%
    Baldur's Gate (17) 5%

    It comes as no big surprise that Icewind Dale's musical score rocked the poll with almost 40% of all votes. IWD's soundtrack hasn't won so many awards without good reason, for its music is truly excellent.

    The second place is much more surprising however. Baldur's Gate 2 is close behind with 32% of votes. Now I wouldn't go as far as to say that its music wasn't good, but most of it just didn't do anything for me.
    Planescape: Torment should definitely appear in this place, but since a much smaller part of the visitors to Sorcerer's Place have also played Torment, I'm quite sure it missed this spot only because its fan base here is much smaller than the one of BG2.

    In third place is (obviously) Planescape: Torment's music, to me the best of the bunch. So filled with emotions, sometimes sadness and grief, that is pulls you into the game and really makes you feel that you are in Nameless One's skin. It is a real shame that an official soundtrack of it was never produced.

    Last place belongs to the original Baldur's Gate, which for most people happened a long time ago, and not everyone played it either. Therein I suppose lies the reason for the low percentage of votes it received, since the musical score was quite good.

    This poll also produced quite a big amount of fan comments, so I'm posting a few here:

    - It's a tough call between Planescape and Icewind, but the battle music in Icewind is just too good!
    - IWD's score is awesome! You get the impression you're in the frozen wastes right from the beginning!
    - There's nothing better than BG2 romance musics!
    - P:T had the best score by far... especially in the Fortress in the Negative Material Plane
    - The song played when you meet Annah (Planescape: Torment) is the best I have heard in any game ever
    - The music in BG2 is o.k. but Torment has the best music by far. The most memorable song though is the theme song from BG, it has been 2 years since I played the game and yet it stays in my head
